Berthe Morisot French / Francesa, 1841–1895 Berthe Morisot French / Francesa, 1841–1895 The Seine Valley at Mézy Oil on canvas, 1891 Berthe Morisot was an accomplished Impressionist and one of only four women in the otherwise male artistic circle. In 1864, she began submitting works to the Paris Salon until in 1874 she began showing with the independent artists, including Claude Monet and Edgar Degas, who became known as the Impressionists. Morisot was the only woman to exhibit in this first Impressionist exhibition and she went on to participate in seven of the eight landmark Impressionist shows that took place from 1874 to 1886. This painting was executed during the summer of 1891 when Morisot and her family stayed in Mézy, north of Paris. El valle del Sena en Mézy Óleo sobre lienzo, 1891 Berthe Morisot fue una impresionista consumada y una de las únicas cuatro mujeres que formaron parte de este círculo artístico por lo general masculino. En 1864, comenzó a presentar obras al Salón de París hasta que en 1874 comenzó a exponer con los artistas independientes, entre ellos Claude Monet y Edgar Degas, quienes serían más tarde conocidos como los impresionistas. Morisot fue la única mujer en participar de la Primera exposición impresionista; en total, participaría en siete de las ocho trascendentales exposiciones impresionistas que tuvieron lugar entre 1874 y 1886. Esta pintura fue ejecutada durante el verano de 1891, durante la estadía de la artista y su familia en Mézy, al norte de París. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Norton S. Walbridge, 1964.117 Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec French / Francés, 1864–1901 The Masked Ball at the Elysée Montmartre Oil on canvas, ca. 1887 El baile de máscaras en Elysée Montmartre Óleo sobre lienzo, ca. 1887 Gift of the Baldwin M. Baldwin Foundation, 1987.116 Emile Bernard French / Francés, 1868–1941 Breton Women in a Ferry Boat Oil on canvas, ca. 1889 Mujeres bretonas en un transbordador Óleo sobre lienzo, ca. 1889 Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Norton S. Walbridge, 1976.198 Edgar Degas French / Francés, 1834–1917 The Ballerina Oil on canvas, ca. 1876 La bailarina Óleo sobre lienzo, ca. 1876 Museum purchase through the Earle W. Grant Acquisition Fund, 1976.111 Pierre Bonnard French / Francés, 1867–1947 Portrait of Monsieur Monteux Oil on canvas, 1915 Executed in the broad, flat patches of color and thick brushstrokes typical of Pierre Bonnard’s work, this painting has always been identified as a portrait of a “Monsieur Monteux.” The picture probably portrays the industrialist Marcel Monteux, who was an early patron of the Nabis, a group of artists that included Bonnard and his associates Édouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, and Ker-Xavier Roussel. Retrato de Monsieur Monteux Óleo sobre lienzo, 1915 Realizado en áreas de color anchas y planas y con las pinceladas gruesas típicas de la obra de Pierre Bonnard, este cuadro siempre se ha identificado como el retrato de “Monsieur Monteux”. La obra quizás represente al industrialista Marcel Monteux, uno de los mecenas iniciales de los artistas llamados los Nabis. Este grupo incluía a Bonnard y a sus colegas Édouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis y Ker-Xavier Roussel. Gift of Ambassador and Mrs. Maxwell Gluck, 1981.85 Édouard Vuillard French / Francés, 1868–1940 Tea at Madame Vuillard’s Oil on board, ca. 1898 Té en la casa de Madame Vuillard Óleo sobre tabla, ca. 1898 Gift of Earle W. Grant, 1965.99 Édouard Vuillard French / Francés, 1868–1940 Madame Hessel in the Boudoir, Rue de Naples Distemper on canvas, ca. 1935 Édouard Vuillard is renowned for having blended his skills as a consummate painter of interiors and as a portraitist. He was both an intimiste, an artist devoted to the portrayal of intimate domestic scenes, and a member of the Nabis, a group of Post-Impressionist artists who maintained an egalitarian approach to materials—often employing a flattened perspective and bold use of colors in their work. As such, Vuillard embraced the connections between art and design, emphasizing the role of painting as a form of decoration. His paintings, even those featuring sitters, are thus as much “portraits” of interior spaces as they are of individuals. Vuillard once commented that he did not paint portraits so much as “people in their surroundings.” Madame Hessel en la alcoba, Rue de Naples Temple sobre lienzo, ca. 1935 Édouard Vuillard es famoso por haber fusionado sus habilidades como consumado pintor de interiores y como retratista. Fue tanto intimista, es decir, un artista dedicado a la representación de escenas domésticas íntimas, como miembro de los Nabis, un grupo de postimpresionistas que adoptaron un enfoque igualitario ante los materiales, emplearon a menudo una perspectiva plana e hicieron un uso llamativo de los colores en su obra. Como tal, Vuillard aprovechó las conexiones entre el arte y el diseño, para poner de relieve el rol de la pintura como forma de decoración. Por lo tanto, sus pinturas, incluso aquellas en las que hay modelos, son tanto “retratos” de espacios interiores como de los individuos representados. Vuillard una vez comentó que no pintaba retratos sino más bien “personas en su entorno”. Gift of Ambassador and Mrs. Maxwell Gluck, 1985.86 Maximilien Luce French / Francés, 1858–1941 Notre Dame Oil on canvas, ca. 1900 Trained as a printmaker, Maximilien Luce was first noted as a painter by the critic Félix Fénéon, who coined the term Neo-Impressionism to describe a new school of landscape painting based on “scientific” principles of color, in contrast to Impressionism’s largely instinctive attempt to capture the fleeting and spontaneous effects of light. Like his fellow Neo-Impressionists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, Luce experimented with the separation of colors into individual, contrasting dots on the canvas. Notre Dame Óleo sobre lienzo, ca. 1900 Capacitado como grabador, Maximilien Luce se destacó por primera vez como pintor ante los ojos del crítico Félix Fénéon, quien acuñó el término neoimpresionismo para describir una nueva escuela de paisajismo basada en principios cromáticos “científicos”, que se oponían a los intentos en gran medida instintivos de los impresionistas por capturar los efectos fugaces y espontáneos de la luz. Al igual que otros neoimpresionistas, como Georges Seurat y Paul Signac, Luce experimentó con la separación de colores en puntos individuales que contrastaban sobre el lienzo. Gift of Ambassador and Mrs. Maxwell Gluck, 1985.77 Diego Rivera Mexican / Mexicano, 1886–1957 Village Près du Champ (Village Near a Field) Oil on canvas, 1919 La aldea de campo Óleo sobre lienzo, 1919 On loan from the Colección Pérez Simón, Mexico Suzanne Valadon French / Francesa, 1865–1938 Young Girl in Front of a Window Oil on canvas, 1930 Suzanne Valadon was independent by the age of ten. She grew up in the bohemian quarter of Montmartre—supporting herself through odd jobs including waiting tables and working as a circus performer. In the early 1880s, Valadon began modeling for artists including Pierre-August Renoir and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. While Valadon could not afford art classes, she learned by observing those around her. She achieved a successful career, culminating in four major retrospective exhibitions during her lifetime. She was primarily known as a figure painter, and the distortion of space and objects as well as the use of dark outlines is characteristic of Valadon’s later work. Joven frente a una ventana Óleo sobre lienzo, 1930 Suzanne Valadon ya era independiente a los diez años. Creció en el barrio bohemio de Montmartre, manteniéndose gracias a trabajos temporales, entre ellos, el de mesera y artista de circo. A principios de la década de 1880, Valadon comenzó a servir de modelo para artistas como Pierre-Auguste Renoir y Henry de Toulouse- Lautrec. Si bien la artista no podía permitirse tomar clases de arte, aprendió observando a aquellos que la rodeaban. Logró el éxito profesional, que culminó en cuatro grandes exposiciones retrospectivas durante sus años de vida. Se la conoció principalmente por su pintura figurativa, y la distorsión del espacio y los objetos, así como el uso de contornos oscuros son características distintivas de su obra tardía. Gift of Richard T. and Roberta F. Silberman, 1976.306 Marie Laurencin French / Francesa, 1883–1956 Young Girl Oil on canvas, ca. 1930 Muchacha joven Óleo sobre lienzo, ca. 1930 Bequest of Mrs. Inez Grant Parker, 1973.88 Jules Pascin French (born in Bulgaria, active in France and the United States) / Francés (nacido en Bulgaria, activo en Francia y los Estados Unidos), 1885–1940 Seated Woman Oil on canvas, ca. 1925 Born to Sephardic Jewish parents in Bulgaria, Pascin (an anagram of Pincas, his family’s name) studied in Vienna and Munich before settling in Paris, where he joined an international group of artists developing Post-Impressionist movements such as Fauvism. Major success came in 1913, when he showed a dozen of his works alongside those of Matisse, Bonnard, and Vuillard (among others) at the famed Armory Show in New York. He relocated to the United States the following year. Mujer sentada Óleo sobre lienzo, ca. 1925 Nacido de padres judíos sefardíes en Bulgaria, Pascin (un anagrama de Pincas, el nombre de su familia) estudió en Viena y Múnich antes de establecerse en París, donde se unió a un grupo internacional de artistas quienes desarrollaron movimientos postimpresionistas como el fauvismo. Su gran éxito llegó en 1913, cuando mostró una docena de sus obras juntas con las de Matisse, Bonnard y Vuillard (entre otros) en el famoso Armory Show en Nueva York. Se mudó a los Estados Unidos al año siguiente. Gift of Ambassador and Mrs. Maxwell Gluck, 1985.79.

[1] In reaction to the traditional establishment, constituted especially by the École des Beaux-Arts, the Paris Salon, and the styles and techniques they promulgated, Toulouse-Lautrec cultivated his own approach to painting, while also pioneering new methods in lithography and the art of the poster. He explored popular, even vulgar subject matter, while collaborating with vanguard artists, writers, and stars of Bohemian Paris. Despite his artistic innovations, he remains an enigmatic and somewhat liminal figure in the history of French modern art.

Basingstoke: Palgrave MacMillan, 2014. 246 pp. Figures, notes, bibliography, and index. $75.00 U.S. (hb). ISBN 978-1-137-37306-9. Review by Elizabeth Emery, Montclair State University. The 2006 youth protests against the Contrat première embauche and the 2014 CGT and FO walkouts on the third Conférence sociale pour le travail provide vivid examples of the extent to which the regulation of work continues to dominate the French cultural landscape. Claire White’s Work and Leisure in Late Nineteenth-Century French Literature and Visual Culture contributes a new and fascinating, if idiosyncratic, chapter to our knowledge of French attitudes toward labor and leisure. This is not a classic history of labor reform, but rather, as the author puts it in her introduction, an attempt to situate art and literature within this well-studied context by focusing primarily on the representation of work and leisure in the novels of Emile Zola, the poetry of Jules Laforgue, and the paintings of Maximilien Luce. The book’s title should not be interpreted as a study of the representation of work and leisure in literature and visual culture in general, but in the specific case of these three artists, each of whom “engages with discourses of labour and leisure in a way which is both highly self-conscious and which reveals something about his own understanding of the processes, values and politics of cultural work in the early Third Republic” (p.

  • Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
    FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF RENOIR’S FULL-LENGTH CANVASES BRINGS TOGETHER ICONIC WORKS FROM EUROPE AND THE U.S. FOR AN EXCLUSIVE NEW YORK CITY EXHIBITION RENOIR, IMPRESSIONISM, AND FULL-LENGTH PAINTING February 7 through May 13, 2012 This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid- 1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection. Intended for public display, the vertical grand-scale canvases in the exhibition are among the artist’s most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. The show and accompanying catalogue draw on contemporary criticism, literature, and archival documents to explore the motivation behind Renoir’s full-length figure paintings as well as their reception by critics, peers, and the public. Recently-undertaken technical studies of the canvases will also shed new light on the artist’s working methods. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne from Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), Dance at Bougival, 1883, oil on canvas, 71 5/8 x 38 5/8 inches, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Picture Fund; photo: © 2012 Museum the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies) from The of Fine Arts, Boston National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

  • Drawings by Jules Pascin
    CATALOGUE OF AN EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS BY JULES PASCIN WITH AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY MARTIN BIRNBAUM BERLIN PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY 305 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK CITY JULES PASCIN From an original etching bv Emil <>rlik CATALOGUE OF AN EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS BY JULES PASCIN WITH AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY MARTIN BIRNBAUM JANUARY 30th-FEBRUARY 20th 1915 BERLIN PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY 305 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK CITY JULES PASCIN ONLY the wise Americans in Paris find their way to the Café du Dòme, and accordingly it is not surprising to find that Jules Pascin, the most distinguished artist in the group of young men that until recently met there, is not known to our dilettants. Moreover he is an artist's artist, a*man who works to please himself and who produces the kind of art that the bourgeoisie the world over is anxious to smash with cheap cudgels. It was there­ fore an embarrassing relief for him to find that when he came suddenly upon us,— charmingly simple and unheralded,—the con­ tents of his portfolio moved one of our cleverest critics to exclaim,—with a profound enthusiasm not at all characteristic of him,— that as far as modern art is concerned, nothing of greater importance may happen throughout the winter, than an exhibition of this artist's work. Pascin himself is extremely modest about his achievements, and we rather regret that he has not brought along some of his more 3 pretentious oil paintings which were among the memorable things at the annual exhibi­ tions of the Berlin Secession. Essentially, however, his is an intimate art which can be appreciated better in a private study than in a public gallery, and he is very fairly repre­ sented by the present collection of his works.

Konstvetenskapliga institutionen, Konstvetenskap Författare Olga Grinchtein Titel och undertitel: Portraits of Sculptors in Modernism Engelsk titel: Portraits of Sculptors in Modernism Handledare Karin Wahlberg Liljeström Ventileringstermin: Höstterm. (år) Vårterm. (år) Sommartermin (år) 2021 The portrait of sculptor emerged in the sixteenth century, where the sitter’s occupation was indicated by his holding a statue. This thesis has focus on portraits of sculptors at the turn of 1900, which have indications of profession. 60 artworks created between 1872 and 1927 are analyzed. The goal of the thesis is to identify new facets that modernism introduced to the portraits of sculptors. The thesis covers the evolution of artistic convention in the depiction of sculptor. The comparison of portraits at the turn of 1900 with portraits of sculptors from previous epochs is included. The thesis is also a contribution to the bibliography of portraits of sculptors. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Karin Wahlberg Liljeström for her help and advice.

  • The Seine at Rolleboise Pastel and Watercolour on Paper, Laid Down
    Maximilien Luce (Paris 1858 - Paris 1941) The Seine at Rolleboise Pastel and watercolour on paper, laid down. Signed, dated and inscribed Luce / Rolleboise / 1924 at the lower right. Numbered 63 twice and inscribed Maximilien Luce No 1834 on the old backing board. 317 x 495 mm. (12 1/2 x 19 1/2 in.) ACQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, WASHINGTON, D.C. Luce first visited the village of Rolleboise, at a bend on the river Seine between Mantes and Bonnières, northwest of Paris, in 1917. He had discovered the village through the painter Alexis Veillet, and rented a room in the town, from where he would often visit his friend Claude Monet at Giverny, not far away. In 1920 he purchased a house just below the church at Rolleboise, as Carol Heitz has noted, ‘on a hillside sloping down gently to the Seine, a most pleasant and peaceful spot...This is where Luce spent the happiest years of his life.’ Luce produced numerous vibrant paintings of the countryside around Rolleboise and the valley of the Seine, painted with great sensitivity. The artist died in Paris and is buried at Rolleboise. Drawn in 1924, this large and vibrant watercolour is characteristic of Luce’s confident draughtsmanship. The view depicts the village and church of Rolleboise, perched above a bend in the Seine. Artist description: Born in the Parisian neighbourhood of Montparnasse, Maximilien Luce displayed a lifelong interest in the depiction of the daily life of the working-class city folk he grew up with. Trained initially as a wood- engraver, he took up landscape painting in the late 1870’s.

  • Sonia Delaunay's Yellow Nude, 1908
    © COPYRIGHT by Laura Ryan 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SUBVERTING ORIENTALISM AND PRIMITIVISM? SONIA DELAUNAY'S YELLOW NUDE, 1908 BY Laura Ryan ABSTRACT In this thesis, I demonstrate that Yellow Nude includes a number of pointed references to historic stereotypes and contemporaneous tropes that embroil the artist’s identity in the primitivist ideologies she apparently appropriates. I first identify the background design within the painting as that of a turn of the century ikat textile, with Central Asian, Jewish, and Russian production histories that mimic the biographic transnationality of Delaunay herself. Delaunay therefore invites viewers to conflate the figure in the painting with the woman who made it, capitalizing on the perceived “exoticism” of her “primitive” cultural upbringing. From this perspective, the featured figure’s mask-like face, disjunctive body, and gender ambiguity further implicate, interrogate, and perhaps undermine international fascination with the “primitive.” I argue that in Yellow Nude Sonia Delaunay both recreated the popular type of the exotic foreign woman and subtly undercut the ideologies behind the genre through specific references likely legible to those who shared her background. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... ii LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ......................................................................................................... iv INTRODUCTION: THE VANGUARD NUDE,

L’enjeu n’est pas de proposer une rétrospective, ni une A exposition sur une thématique ciblée mais de développer une vision critique de la perception de Renoir, aussi bien de l’homme que de son œuvre. Renoir est une figure intournable de l’histoire de l’art dont les œuvres sont visibles dans les plus grands musées du monde et autour duquel s’est construite une véritable mythologie nourrie par l’artiste lui-même, ses contemporains, sa famille... L’exposition se composera de sections thématiques sur des sujets moins habituels de son œuvre (les portraits masculins, l’importance d’Essoyes dans sa vie et dans son œuvre avec les figures d’Aline Charigot et Gabrielle Renard, le thème de la femme au travail et de la femme idéalisée, les nature mortes et Renoir collectionné par Pablo Picasso). Ce projet bénéficie de prêts des musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie et d’autres institutions muséales françaises.
